You've all heard that it is easier to resist junk food if you don't have it at home. But let's take this one step further : Don't even let yourself go down the junk food and sweets isles at the store. Don't look at it, don't linger by it, browsing over the section, don't pick it up and contemplate walking out of the store with it even if it is "just for the hubby or kids", don't even try to justify it by reading the ingredients list or nutrional list to see "if it's really THAT bad!"

MORE INFORMATION:
Even better, always make a meal plan for a week or just a few days, and then make a grocery list based on just the items you need for those healthy meals. Then go to the store, get JUST the items on the list, and get in, get out.
